CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 26, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mistic ® E-Cigs is reinventing the vaping experience by improving ease of use for adult vapers with the introduction of the Mistic 2.0 POD-MOD™, a sleek and powerful closed-ended personal vaporizer that enables consumers to quickly and easily change flavor tanks using the company’s pre-filled pod technology.

Selling for $39.99 at drug, mass and convenience retailers nationwide, Mistic’s new pre-filled vape system starter kit comes in two color options (matte black and matte white), each packaged with two free (a $40 retail value) pre-filled 10 mL flavor pods (matte black: tobacco/strawberry and matte white: menthol/cherry).
“This product simplifies the vaping experience covering the full spectrum of vape consumers,” said John Wiesehan Jr., CEO of Mistic. “It gives the experience, flavor profiles, and vapor production that mod users are accustomed to and also provides ease of use to cig-alike users who haven’t upgraded because they didn’t want to deal with the hassle of bottles and tanks. With a simple pick, click and vape, users can experience different flavors at a moment’s notice.”
Available in a compact, ergonomically designed rechargeable 30-watt unit with an automatic shut-off feature, Mistic 2.0™ delivers a robust and satisfying vape from a 1700 mAh battery with the convenience and no-hassle of a cig-alike. The battery also has an on-off option as well as stand-by mode to help conserve power.
Offered in 10 mL child-resistant, tamper-proof pre-filled pods, Mistic 2.0 high-end e-liquids (80 VG/20 PG ratio) are made in the USA and available in 4 mg nicotine strengths (4 percent by volume) and 10 flavors: cherry, coconut cream, creamy cantaloupe, fruit mix, java, mango, menthol, strawberry, tobacco and watermelon.
Selling for $19.99, each Mistic 2.0 pre-filled pod has its own built-in coil that provides 0.3 ohms of resistance for maximum sub-ohm vapor production. Each self-contained pod is easily interchangeable for vapers on the go or those wanting to effortlessly experience various flavor profiles.
Free Starter Kit
The company is offering a free Mistic 2.0 POD-MOD™ starter kit when users spend $30 or more in its online store. Adult consumers can watch a short video about the new product on Mistic’s Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/MisticElectronicCigarettes ) to obtain a special coupon code.
Complying with the FDA
Today’s announcement comes two weeks before the U.S. Food & Drug Administration’s (FDA) final rule on the manufacturing and marketing of newly deemed vapor products goes into effect on August 8, 2016. Products introduced after this date must be approved by the FDA before they can be marketed.
“Innovation is key to our industry’s survival and it was important for us to bring our game-changing vaping technology to adult vapers and smokers before the FDA’s deeming rule goes into effect and makes future modernization more difficult,” added Wiesehan. “While the FDA pathway for vapor products is still relatively unclear and already there are legal challenges to the final regulations, as well as pending legislation to move the February 15, 2007 predicate date, we are taking steps to ensure that our products remain on the market and will proceed with the approval pathway process for our new Mistic 2.0 line and other company vapor products.”
